YOP Week #13

My goals for this past week for YOP were 1) finish the other 3 squares for Blaithin CAL,  2) work on and hopefully finish leg of sock #1, 3) get yarns ordered for Maybelle and more,  4) sew and crochet more strips for rug, and 5) start nature's Walk CAL. I'm sure there's more but that's all I can handle right now!

1) I did not work on the Blaithin squares at all.  I need to rethink my colors and hopefully this afternoon as tomorrow the new pattern comes out!
2)  I did not get the leg of sock #1 done but it's getting there...........love this yarn and these colors..........

 

3) I did not order any yarns either..........

4) I also did not sew any strips for the crocheted rag rug

5) I did start the Nature's Walk CAL and got 4 of the 8 squares done for the first week.........I'm going to try and finish the next 4 before Tuesday when a new pattern comes out and then I'll try and catch up with the Blaithin CAL but switching between is not efficient.  I have this one almost memorized so I'll finish them first.

My goals for this next week for YOP are 1) finish the other 4 squares for the Nature's Walk CAL  2) finish leg of sock #1, 3) get yarns ordered for Maybelle and more,  4) sew and crochet more strips for rug, and 5) catch up with the Blaithin CAL squares. 6) work on Frida Kahlo basket 7) cross stitch days...............wish me luck! LOL!


I was a real slacker this week for YOP as you can tell although I did get other things done around the homestead.  I also finished some books and started some others.....I have 30 read out of 75 for the challenge.......I finished this one...............

and this is what I'm reading now...........

I just got my first bloom from my hydrangea and it's huge!  I cut it way back this spring so that may be why it's late but there are lots of blooms coming now......

I don't do anything special for the color.....it's just the soil here that gives it the purple and pink
I finally caught up with letter writing, thank yous and packages to mail out and that took all of Friday practically!  I spent $50 at the post office.  I have to budget for postal expenses now it's gotten so pricey!  Today is make ham and bean soup, a blueberry pie from Mama Pea's (A Homegrown Journal on my sidebar) recipe if I get that far.  There's football and ironing and handwork.  I hope you have Fall temps and colors.....it is green here (my header is from another year) and in the 90's for another week at least or so they say!  I would give my eye teeth to be in Montana right now!  A blizzard!
Happy Trails!!!
